Worrisome thoughts reproduce faster than rabbits, so one of the most powerful ways to stop the spiral of worry is simply to disclose my worry to a friend.... The simple act of reassurance from another human being [becomes] a tool of the Spirit to cast out fear.

Since worrying is toxic let us concentrate on finding a solution to our problems. Let's focus our mind on everything that is good, healthy, productive, and that will help us to increase our ability to enjoy life more abundantly.

MELVIN R. HALL

---

One of the worst features about worrying is that it destroys our ability to concentrate. When we worry, our minds jump here and there and everywhere, and we lose all power of decision. However, when we force ourselves to face the worst and accept it mentally, we then eliminate all these vague imaginings and put ourselves in a position in which we are able to concentrate on our problem.

WILLIS H. CARRIER

---

Worrying is about living in a "what if" state of mind and visualizing what you DON'T want to experience, instead of what you DO! When your mind gets stuck on a negative thought, it automatically shifts into high gear and tries to fix the situation.

JAFREE OZWALD

---

Worry-free living can be ours. Worry is merely an option. Take a lesson from our children. Toss your worries onto your Father. Then go outside and play.

RICK BROWN

---

Worry depletes you of vitality, enthusiasm, joy and peace. Worriers don't have much enthusiasm for living, as they can think of too many perils that might occur.

MARTHA LEMASTERS

---

People who are prone to worrying are soft-wired to pay attention to threatening news, thereby building up a library of evidence in their brains that worrying is necessary. Think about it. On any given day, there are so many threatening things happening in the world -- anything from new viruses, terrorist attacks, or political conflicts to a hostile email or upcoming storm are all real events. Yet, if you only pay attention to the threats, you have no space left in your brain to process anything else. Threat becomes your reality, and worry becomes your justifiable response. Anyone telling you to give up your worry will sound out of touch, to say the least.

SRINI PILLAY

---

When it comes to Mom, worry is my constant companion, with me like those belt beepers husbands used to wear when the birth was imminent.

PHIL GIANFICARO

---

Worrying is similar to purchasing ulcers on credit.

GREG REYNOLDS

---

The longer I have followed Jesus, the more I have experienced him lifting worry's weight from my soul. Increasingly, I view worry as a cue to pray, choosing to trust my Heavenly Father and to thank him.

GREG REYNOLDS

---

Every moment of worry weakens the soul for its daily combat.
